THE NEIJING
Neijing Classical Acupuncture involves a dynamically different systematic approach to modern TCM based acupuncture. It is a method that revolves around understanding of the cyclical nature of time, space, and direction within the being and the environment that surrounds it by means of comprehension of the Huangdi Neijing.

This weekend seminar will explore fundamental theories and practice of the core classical treatise, the Lingshu Jing (“Spiritual Pivot”). Specific focus on clinical methodologies and the defining components of Neijing Acupuncture will be presented in order to provide participants with immediately practical clinical skills that are not commonly found within current TCM practice.

This seminar will revolve around classical pulse diagnosis as a means of determining dysfunction within the Jingluo. Particular attention will be placed on the Renying/Cunkou ratios, classical Jingluo pathophysiology, and the needling techniques of the Neijing.  The purpose of this weekend is to provide an insight for participants into the practice of Neijing Classical Acupuncture while making readily available usable methodologies. These methods will be presented against the background of classical case studies from David’s clinical practice.

Venue: Sydney Institute of TCM, Dixon St, Sydney
Date: 1 - 2 May 2010
Times: 9.30am - 5.30pm
This Seminar is relevant for: Chinese Medicine Practitioners who would like to become more proficient with clinical methodologies; 3rd & 4th year TCM studens.
